25T016 Ku- and C-Band Satellites Uplink, Downlink and Translation Frequencies MITEQ TECHNICAL NOTE 25T016 MAY 1998 REV H

Ku- and C BAND SATELLITES UPLINK, DOWNLINK and TRANSLATION FREQUENCIES ______

MITEQ has published this technical note of Ku- and C Band frequencies because of the difficulties in obtaining the translation frequencies for the specific satellites around the world. We believe this is the most comprehensive listing of satellite frequencies currently available.

MITEQ welcomes any additions and/or corrections to this list that our readers may be aware of.

The notation “/VAR” indicates that there are various translation frequencies for the specific satellite or band. This may be due to cross-polarization, cross-transponder, or cross-band switching capabilities in the spacecraft. SECTION ONE
